Pruning and trimming

Tree pruning and trimming are necessary to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and attractive. Although the terms may seem interchangeable, there is a slight difference between the two.

Pruning is a necessary step to keep your trees and shrubs healthy and attractive.  Pruning is usually applied to shrubs and hedges as part of a larger landscaping design, providing a clean look. In addition to providing aesthetic appeal, pruning can reduce branch density which can block sunlight and moisture from reaching the surrounding landscape. For example: It is recommended that the growth of tree branches be kept at least 30 feet from one another to allow for optimal growth.

Trimming is usually applied to shrubs and hedges as part of a larger landscaping design, providing a clean look.  Different types of trees require different equipment and not all trees and shrubs should be pruned or trimmed at the same time of year. You can rely on our professional arborists to properly trim and prune your shrubs. Shaping plants is an art and requires skilled workmanship. With our knowledge and equipment, we can be sure that Belleville Tree Service will get the job done properly.

Proper pruning and trimming for optimal growth

While on the surface it may seem easy, pruning and trimming trees isn’t as simple as it may seem. It’s important that the proper technique is used when trimming or pruning. In addition to providing aesthetic appeal, trimming can reduce branch density which can block sunlight and moisture from reaching the surrounding landscape. For example: If your tree branches are allowed to grow too close to one another, they will compete for energy providing sunlight and moisture, weakening the tree and reducing its overall ability to thrive.
